NEXT INDIANA GOVERNOR
Democratic affairs ovon Democratic affairs In
Indiana, whore, ns has been intimated, the Democracy didn't have many af
fairs, Tho Republicans with glad acclaim nominated James K. Watson, con
gressman, spollblndcr pnr excellence, O. O. P. whip in congress, protege and
I favorite of Undo Joo Cannon nnd second nontenant in tho Iloosicr favorlto
son brigade. It seemed as II' everybody wanted that siiro-flro Republican nomi
nation this year, and Watson won after a stiff light. Tho party puporB hnllod
him as practically already elected, and Watson hlmsolf began to pick out tho
grocery whoro the family trading would bo done for four years.
Thcro has boon it good deal of a change slnco thou. Tho saloon quostlon
made some of It, Ilia present llnnly administration In Indiana made conuldor
nbly more of it, tho national campaign did tho rest. Tho Democrats look hourt
nnd put up n fight. Tho Republicans began to light among themselves nnd
split up. Marshall stock shot skyward, while Watson stock tumbled, and tho
result of the lccont election wns not entirely unexpected.

-'jC early ago. In tho houso ho was for somo time
llnnly In bringing the saloon question to a legis
lative focus during tho campaign.
(lov. Hanly, a Btrong enomy to tho saloon, wan In control of the legislature
which mot in January last, nnd kept It busy most of Its constitutional life of
CI days In passing his pot measures. Rut the liquor question was not out of
tho way when tho time camo for adjournment and tho governor, whose term
oxplrcB beforo tho next rogulnr session, contented himself with warning the
dopnrtlng lnwmakeiB that ho oxpcclcd them to llnlsh tho work at their next
session.
In somo mannor the retiring executive recelvod tho Impression that his
successor might not bo as earnest In his war on tho domon rum ns the present
administration. Ho accordingly called tho loglalnturo back In special session
and Bucceedcd nftcr a lively light In crowding his local option bill through
that body with a slender mnjorlly of two or threo votes. Tho measure wns
promptly signed and is now n lnw. It provides for n voto by counties on tho
quostlou of llconso or no llcenno. Tho Democrats had agreed to vote for u
bill providing for ward and towiiBhlp option. Hut party Hues were not strictly
followed in tho voto.
In both parties are Influences or moro or less strength politically which
aro opposed to drastic legislation on tho liquor question. That the Ropubllcan
party lost lis share of theso olomcnts Is believed to havo been tho cnuso of
WatEoit's defeat.

Tho second costumo Is In elophnnt-gray fine face cloth. Tho over-skirt is
finely braided at tho odgo with black silk braid, tho under-sklrt is plain. A

IN MIXTURE OF TWO COLORS.
Clever Idea That Is Made Use of for
the New Trimmings. ,
Ono of tho now trimmings Is tho
uso of black cloth cut in wide, bold
designs, applied to colored cloth.
This is qulto effective for strcot
suits and also for soft finished indoor
gowns.
Rroadcloth Ib used for tho embroid
ery. A pattern Is first -cut from pa-
per, basted on cloth and then cut out
with sharp, small, well-pointed scis
sors.
Thoro Is no hem. Tho cloth is ap
plied with n rnw edge, but as this Is
done now with bands nnd folds nnd
rovers, It does not, look Inconsistent
with neatness.
Tho aewlng of this embroidery to
the foundation cloth is n.work of nrt,
and no mnttor how woll It Ib dono, a
hot Iron is needed for tho finishing
touch.
Cortnln dressmakers paste on thin
embroidery. They find tho effect
smoother and the work less trouble.
This kind of trimming has been par
ticularly well carrlod out on a gown
of whlto moteor crepe in which tho
cut-out embroidery Is of pnlo vlolot
cloth. This Is used to stimulate a
tunic on skirt and for bands across
and around bodice.
. It Is n daring method and must bo
well dono if dono at all.
A CHIC LOUNGING ROBE.
Made of flno dotted muslin over Jap
silk, trlmmod with Insertion, laco und
tucks; finished with soft satin ribbon.
Laco Ib Being Dyed.
The revival of dyed laco Is In full
tide. All colors that havo como out
this autumn uio employed. Irish
laco, point applique, real fllot, do not
escapo tho dyo pot. It Is considered
fashionable to only uso laco that
matches tho sown, and, therefore, tho
dyors aro reaping lnrgo rowards.
When Stitching Taffeta.
Not ovory dressmaker knows thnt
tho reason taffeta so often cuts In
stitching is because tho neodlo is
bluntod or niBtod, It Is much hotter
to uso ono that la now and rather lino.
ThlB can bo renowod sovornl times if
thoro la much stitching to bo douo.

MAKES PRETTY COAT FOR GIRL.
Golden Brown Satin the Material, with
Novel Adornments.
A charming coat for a small girl Is
fashioned from golden brown satin.
Tho body Is formed from straight sldo
plaits hold in placo by a low belt
set well down. Tho sleeves nro wldo
nnd full, tnken Into Vandyke laco cuffa.
A collar to match Is tho finish to tho
neck.
Other materials besides satin will bo
equally appropriate. Rroadcloth and
sorgo will, of course, bo moro practi

of thnt porlod, both developed from
ribbon, will bo used ns nccessorlc3 to

fnshlonod from broad satin ribbon or
stripes of bias satin mado to go around
tho wulst and 'cross lu tho back, tho
ends being knotted at left side front.
Neck Ruffles Important.
That neck ruffles aro doing a great
deal for womankind this season thorn
Is no donylng. Those Intended for
outdoor wonr nro full nnd heavy, be
ing mado of many layers of tulle, with
often us many colors ono over tho

Soft Silks.
Silk will bo very much worn now.
Not tho kind of taffeta wo usod to
wear. Nobody wants to rustle now;
wo do not want to look Btarchod or
to shlno; wo must look as wilted nnd
clinging ns possible. As tho do

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNE
SOTA EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada.
A party of editors from a number of
cities and towns of MlnncrxHa recently
mado a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes thoy
aro now telling in their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. Tho West St. Paul
Times recalls tho excursion of tho
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
tho Pacific Coast ton years ago. Re
ferring to what lias happened in tho
interval tho writer says: "Thousands
of miles of now railway lines havo
been built, and tho dovolopment of
tho country has mado marvelous
Btridcs. Millions of acres, then lying
In their wild nnd untouched otnte,
havo sinco been transferred Into grain
fields. Towns havo sprung up us If
by tho wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
It is a rovolntlon, a record of conquest
by settlement that Is romnrkablo."
Tho Hutchinson Lender charnctor
izca Western Canada as "a Groat conn
try undeveloped. Tho summer out
ing," it says, "wns nn oye-oponor to
ovory member of tho party, oven thoso
who woro on tho excursion through
Western Canada ton years ago, over
considerable of tho territory covered
tills year, being nmazod nt tho prog
ress and advancement mado In that
Bhort space of time. Tho, tlmo will
cotno when Westorn Canada will bo
tho broad-basket of the world. It
wns a delightful outing through a
great country of wondorful possibil
ities and rcFurccs."
Slnco tho visit of theso editors tho
Government has revised its land regu
lations nud it is now posslblo to ho
euro 1G0 acres of whent lnnd nt f3.00
an aero lu addition to tho 1C0 acres
thnt may bo homcsteaded.
Tho crops of 1908 havo been splen
did, and roports from tho vnrlous dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will givo excellent profits to
tho farmers.
From Mlle8lono, Saskatchewan,
thoro aro reported yields of thirty bush
els of spring wheat to tho acre, while
tho avorago is about 20 bushels. Tho
quality of grain to bo shipped from
this point will bo about 600,000 bush

Thoro Is a slmplo, easy way to got rid

"Almost from tho beginning ot tho
